Although telecare systems can be purchased directly from specialist shops and suppliers, it can be expensive.
To obtain a cost-effective solution, I would recommend that you first contact the local authority of the person you are trying to assist and confirm what telecare help and/or supplier advice that their local authority can provide.
Otherwise, please refer to the links below for further information.
